Due to security reasons I cannot open a .zip file. Could you please send the appropriate log as a .txt attachment, or copy the log straight into an email. Please note however, if an IP address has originated from BT, I would advise you redirect your complaint to abuse@bt.net, to allow them to enforce their Terms of Service. ntl do not condone any form of network abuse and we are actively working to enforce our user policy and terms and conditions. Yours Sincerely, Fiona Acceptable Use Policy Team ntl: Technology.
